On Transmisogynist Feminism & Racist Skinheads

Honestly the grief I feel towards turphs and skinheads alike is primarily one of disappointment. Both groups suffer under oppressive systems and react to them with violence and struggle — patriarchy and capitalism respectively. It is not wrong to be violent, outspoken, or to struggle against societal problems.

What is wrong is to do these on the basis of incorrect politics. To scapegoat trans women or jews rather than to struggle in solidarity with these groups against real oppressors — men and capitalists. The skinhead struggling against the Jew will never achieve freedom. The radfem struggling against the trans woman will never achieve liberation.

The tragedy of these reactionary tendencies is primarily their incorrect political lines — the adherence to the line that trans women are oppressive males or that jews control capital are not based in material reality, and so struggle against them will not solve any real problems. The violence and horror that terves and skinheads enact is not a result of individual failure but a result of propelling justified anger through an incorrect lens.

When the radfem and the trans women collectively struggle against the pimps they will win. When the skinhead and Jew collectively struggle against the banker they will win. When we adhere to solidarity and correct politics, we all will win.
